Video: 15-Year-Old Kamila Valieva Lands 1st Women's Quad Jump at Olympics

Fifteen-year-old Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva made history during the women's free skate portion of the team event at the Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Valieva landed the first quadruple jump ever in the women's competition at the Olympics, and she did it twice. She completed a quad salchow and a quad toe, which included a triple toe combination.

Valieva added a triple axel as she had done in the women's short program Saturday. She is just one of four competitors—Japan's Midori Ito and Mao Asada and USA's Mirai Nagasu—to land one in the women's event at the Olympics.

Valieva fell when she attempted a third quadruple jump, her first time falling on a quad in competition all season. Despite the fall, her impressive run earned a score of 178.92.

The history-making performance by Valieva clinched a gold medal for the Russian Olympic Committee in the team event. USA won the silver medal, and Japan took the bronze medal.

As we move forward to the individual events, Valieva is the favorite to earn more gold medals. She likely won't be the only skater to land a quad in this year's Games, though, as teammates Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova have also successfully completed quadruple jumps during their runs.
